When the letters have a dagesh inside them:Avifrisz said:I need to learn when the letter פ changes from "f" to "p" and viceversa as well as the letter כ when changes from "k" to "ch"or"kh" and viceversa.
in bible hebrew these called Begadkepat letters others that change in bible isAvifrisz said:שלום לכולם.
I need to learn when the letter פ changes from "f" to "p" and viceversa as well as the letter כ when changes from "k" to "ch"or"kh" and viceversa.
.תודה רבה
A dagesh over a vocal schwa can only be a dagesh forte, and must therefore be pronounced as a geminated stop, thus, for example:How does the vocal שוא (sheva) affects the פ and כ letters changing them from "f" to "p" and from "k" to "ch", respectively?
You described this rule incorrectly. It has nothing to do with the shva. Rather, a dagesh after a vowel is what indicates that it's a dagesh forte (with some exceptions).A dagesh over a vocal schwa can only be a dagesh forte, and must therefore be pronounced as a geminated stop, thus, for example:
מִפְּנֵי /mippənê/ vs. לִפְנֵי /lifnê/
שִׁכְּרוּ /šikkərû/ vs. שָֽׁכְרוּ /šākᴴrû/
Yes, it has just occurred to me that a dagesh lene can occur over a vocal schwa at the beginning of a word, hence:Rather, a dagesh after a vowel is what indicates that it's a dagesh forte (with some exceptions).
No, that is still not true. It only applies after a vowel. That's the only criterion.Yes, it has just occurred to me that a dagesh lene can occur over a vocal schwa at the beginning of a word, hence:
עַל־פְּנֵי /ʿal-pənê/
מִפְּנֵי /mippənê/
לִפְנֵי /lifnê/
In the middle of a word, however, what I said stands: a dagesh over a vocal schwa can only be a dagesh forte.
No, you're right. I should have thought of יִשְׁכְּרוּ, with a dagesh lene over a vocal schwa.For example, שִׁכֵּר has a dagesh forte, and no shva, while יִשְׂכְּרוּ has a vocal shva but a dagesh lene.
